The Font Information Record
TheGetFontInfo
procedure uses the font information record to return measurement information based on the font of the current graphics port. If the current font has an associated font, as do Arabic and Hebrew,GetFontInfo
returns information based on both fonts. The font information record contains the ascent, the descent, the width of the largest glyph, and the leading for a given font. TheStdTxtMeas
function also uses a record of typeFontInfo
to return information about the current font. TheFontInfo
data type defines a font information record.
TYPE FontInfo = RECORD ascent: Integer; {ascent} descent: Integer; {descent} widMax: Integer; {maximum glyph width} leading: Integer; {leading} END;
